The Sink and Float separation process is part of what is also known as a Heavy Media Separation Process (HMS) and are commercial adaptations of the common laboratory procedure used for separating a mixture of two products having differentials in specific gravity by immersing the sample in a heavy liquid having a gravity intermediate to

The Ad Rem Heavy Media Separator is the ideal tool to recover all metals from your shredder residues and to achieve the best quality of aluminum.The separation drum is especially designed to avoid decantation of the medium in the material and thus avoiding misplaced items.

Heavy-media separation: In heavy-media separation (also called sink-and-float separation), the medium used is a suspension in water of a finely ground heavy mineral (such as magnetite or arsenopyrite) or technical product (such as ferrosilicon).
